You don't just fire your starting quarterback, you do it in a live TV broadcast during Monday Night Football, with him kneeling in front of the whole team on the 50 yard line; and the coach should make the quarterback cry like a baby and maybe commit seppuku, and then the coach should loudly ask, "Who wants to be next - or would you rather play some football?"

"Pour encourager les autres." is how the French say it, I believe.

TW "poryog," as in, "Olberman was fired, and the poryog sure deserved it."

Apparently Lawrence O'Donnell is taking over olby's time slot and they are moving Ed Schultz to 10 PM. Sadly no word on Maddow leaving(I'm still convinced Obama is the only man she would give a BJ to, but she might have to fight Chris Matthews for a spot).

Sounds like all they're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
